Just thought i'd remake that one thread that's been brought up countless times in General Pokémon out of curiosity, since the last one was made over a year ago.

Do your IRL friends know you play Pokémon?

Mine don't, except for three or four of them who are my good friends and I know they won't judge me. x3 Judging by where I live, if I told people I played Pokémon i'd probably get made fun of so much. xD

I know quite a few people who still play it, yeah. xD Pretty much all of my closest friends irl both know I play it and still play it themselves, so yeah. If I see someone talking about it or playing it or something, I usually drop a hint too.

Only two of my friends has an interest in Pokemon as well as myself. I still find it weird how all these jocks at my school play Pokemon. They keep asking to trade with me, since we used to play Pokemon together and now they think I don't play it at all. D:

My friends most certainly know I play Pokémon, you shouldn't feel embarrassed to tell your friends what you like. If your friends can't accept you for your interests, then screw them.That being said, I know a couple of my friends play Pokémon also, but I've never played with them.

i got one friend who plays pokemon. none of me friends know i play. we all play FPSs on xbox but i also play pokemon, mario, AC, zelda that kinda stuff. i balance it out. all my friends are judgemental freaks. the only time i've played pokemon with em was for a joke but obviously i wasnt in it for a joke. but we all (apart from me) play the occasional mario, sonic and s**t like that. actually me and one of my friends are gonna play old gamecube games through xmas break or whatever you call it
